From Shohei Ohtani Guerrero Jr. is “suitable for MVP” 6 years ago “experienced person” affirms the reason | Full-Count

Donaldson “I’m not going to devalue Shohei”

Shohei Ohtani, a pitcher of the Angels who shines in both pitches, or Vladimir Guerrero Jr. infielder of the Blue Jays, who may be the triple crown. Two of the American League MVPs this season are seen as “leading candidates.” Meanwhile, Josh Donaldson infielder of the Twins, who won the MVP in 2015 during the Blue Jays era, recommended Guerrero Jr. The Canadian media “Toronto Sun” reports.

Donaldson won the MVP in 2015 when he was the RBI King. At the age of 35, he has hit 24 home runs this season as well. With a total of 1168 hits and 249 home runs, Slugger said, “In my opinion, Brad plays a role in the game on a daily basis. That’s the most valuable thing to me. They (Blue) (Jays) has a great hit, but without Brad it wouldn’t be the same team. That’s a big difference, “he said.

“When I talk about MVP, I always go back to the discussion that was heard (in 2015) when I compared myself to (Mike Trout of the Angels).” “There’s no doubt he’s a worthy player, but I’ve always said that winning is everything. That’s why we’re playing. To win and go to the postseason.” And emphasizes as follows. “If my team isn’t, I don’t think I’ll be the most valuable player in the league as a whole. Being the most valuable player in a team competing for victory is the most valuable to me. Thing”.

Six years ago, the Blue Jays conquered the American League East. Meanwhile, the Angels finished third in the district. The Blue Jays are still competing for the playoffs this season, and the Angels are at the bottom.

Of course, I pay tribute to Otani. “I’m not going to devalue Shohei. What he’s doing is incredible. It’s just that Brad is out in the game every day and has an extraordinary season at the heart of the line. What they are doing is extremely special and unusual. We must be grateful for it. “

However, Guerrero Jr. has overcome the “disadvantages” and continues to play an active role. “We also have to take into account that the Blue Jays had to start the season in Florida, move to Buffalo and here (Toronto). The three big moves are upset. They need to be readjusted. “It’s difficult,” he said. “What he (Guerrero) is doing and the reputation he’s getting is really unique. He deserves them.”
